Chapter 5

Artemis' POV

I took a momentary step back when they headed my way. I winced a little when I stepped on some of the broken pieces. I heard Zelo's cursing because of that but I didn't have time to pay attention to him. I was just irritated that I took a few pieces of broken plate before I aimed at their vital points. Some were unable to fight me.

Only Zelo was the one who was able to restrain me, but before he could hold me completely, I threw the broken hand on his arm.

"Can you fucking calm down, Artemis?" I stopped when he mentioned my name. 

"Who started it? I'm settling down but who the fuck tried to ask his bodyguards to have a fight with me?” I asked raising an eyebrow at him. He took that as an opportunity to get me and quickly tied me to the bed with his suit. This jerk really trains himself so hard. He wasn't satisfied yet and took a piece of cloth to double-bind my hand.

"Fucking stay still, Woman," he said coldly before turning to PSG.

"Call Doctor Tanyag and also get a handcup. Please, call the head maid to clean this place first," he ordered them. His men rushed out while he looked at me coldly. He looked like he was so annoyed with me. I didn't try to remove the strap because it would only hurt me, it was so tight. He watched me struggle.

He coldly looked at my leg which was bruised and my body was also full of wounds.

"If you just make yourself shut up then you are not going to get hurt like this," he told me coldly.

"Oh, I didn't know that you were concerned with me. Why, Zelo? Still dead over heels when it comes to me?” I asked him with a smirk. He ignored me as his men had also arrived. I did not fight back when I was being treated. It's not that deep so I don't care either.

I turned to Zelo who was just looking at me as if I was the most degraded type of person for him.

"Why don't you enlighten me so I can fucking stop this rebellion?" The Doctor was a little surprised by the tone of my speech to Zelo, who was looking at me with folded arms. He didn't say a word and just waited for my treatment to finish. He just sat on the far side of the bed when everyone left. 

"You are really going to make a fuss about everything, aren't you? I fucking have a meeting right now, Woman. Aren't you a bit ashamed?" he asked as if it was my fault that he didn't attend the meeting he was talking about. I can't help but roll my eyes while looking at him.

"As if I'm at fault here?" I even raised an eyebrow at him.

"Maybe you forget I waited patiently here but you never visited. What is your plan? If you're going to kill me, why not now?" I asked irritatedly, making him annoyed even more.

“Stop acting like a brat. I just got busy with the state problem," he said, rolling his eyes at me too.

"What happened to my son? Don't wait for me to run away from here and find out myself, Zelo," I said coldly to him, causing him to chuckle.

"As if you can still go when you already enter the tiger's den," he said to me with a smile.

I looked at him coldly because of that.

"You talk a lot, why don't you just tell me what happened to my son?" I asked annoyed.

"He's my son. Fine, my head is hurting because of you.” He massaged his temple so I couldn't help but roll my eyes.

"He almost got kidnapped by an unknown man. It's good that the security is tight.” My lips parted there.

"Kidnapping? How is he today? Is he okay? Is he hurt? Who fucking did that? It's probably one of your enemies from politics!” I spoke one after the other while he just looked at me. I don't know if he was doubting me or what.

"I don't care about what you think but it's not me. However, you should be really wary of me, I would like to take my son," I said with a smile, which is why he looked away.

"He does not know about the kidnapping. He's good. Stop being a headache and rest for now.” He stood up when he received a call. He answered it softly, very different from the tone he spoke to me. I mock him annoyedly, this one is really pretentious.

"Why are you so stingy? Why don't you tell me everything you know? Hades is also my son," I said loudly. So whoever he was talking to would know that he was with the mother of his son. I don't even know why I'm doing this.

He glared at me and briefly hung up before he irritatedly sat across from me. He closed his eyes while massaging his temple.

"I already told you, we haven't found the suspect. I just brought him home to the Philippines for now. His life is endangered there.” I can still see the way he looks at me as if he is waiting for my reaction.

"I'll help find the suspect," I said. It seems my blood is heating up immediately. How can they fucking touch my son if they wanted a fight with Zelo?

"How sure are you that you aren't the suspect?" Juago asked with a smirk before standing up. I didn't speak and just watched the expression on his face. Irritated, I repeated several times that it wasn't me.

“Whatever. Think whatever you want. Tell me all about the information that you know," I said.

He just rolled his eyes as if just staying here drained him. Security came inside and called him. There seems to be an emergency outside as well. I just gave up and let him.

I was not comfortable while lying in my bed. My thoughts were also deep while thinking about what my plan is now. I fell asleep thinking about it, too tired from fighting up with the PSGs.

I just woke up to a careful step coming closer to me. My frown deepened when a flashlight reflected on my face. It looks like it's already night because of the darkness. There was only the light, the flashlight.

"Put down the flashlight before I put you down."

"Oh, I think they are mistaken. You look like a fairy instead of a beast."
